It seems that Fairphone will finally end the Fairphone 3 (and 3+) support in August after 7 years.
I am still using my FP3+ daily - the only thing that has gone wrong with it was that I wore out the USB connector with cheap charging cables… so a new bottom connector (and a spare battery, just in case) and I’m all good again…
… which means, I might not be buying another phone for another couple of years yet, let’s see if it’ll make 10 years with LineageOS, etc!
I’m sure there’s other phones still chugging along…
In my case it was just dust and clothing fluff that accumulated after having the phone in my pocket. I had to clean with a pointy thing and it clamps again fine. It might have been clap wear but fluff accumulation might be an issue too.
